Waste disposal system

Abstract

The present invention provides a waste disposal system through the use of a flexible bag 14 with glove members 20, 22, a removable and replaceable splash shield 17, a drain line tube 32, and a refill tube 48 in order to service aircraft lavatories. Through the use of the bag 14, the ramp attendant, the aircraft ramp, baggage and other property on the ramp is protected from contamination with human waste and chemical solutions used to deodorize and sanitize aircraft lavatories.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A method for replacing at least one glove member on an apparatus to facilitate disposal of waste while preventing waste, chemical solutions and other hazardous materials from contacting persons and objects, the method comprising the steps of: 
 providing a receptacle for catching waste including first and second openings disposed in said receptacle to allow a user to work within said receptacle, and first and second glove members removably connected to said first and second openings;    removing at least one of said first and second glove members; and    operatively connecting at least a third glove member to at least one of said first and second openings.    
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , said receptacle further including a first conduit extending through said receptacle and attached to said receptacle for transporting waste, said first conduit including at least one hole disposed through its circumference, for draining waste from said receptacle into said first conduit.  
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said receptacle further includes first and second glove bases operatively connected to said first and second openings, said first and second glove members being placed over said first and second glove bases.  
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , said first and second glove bases further including first and second ring members.  
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein said receptacle further includes first and second clamps adapted to be placed over said first and second glove members to operatively connect said first and second glove members to said receptacle.  
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5  further comprising loosening at least one of said first and second clamps prior to removing at least one of said first and second glove members.  
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6  further comprising placing at least one of said first and second clamps over at least said third glove member.  
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7  further comprising tightening at least one of said first and second clamps to operatively connect at least said third glove member to said receptacle.  
     
     
         9 . A method for replacing at least one glove member on an apparatus to facilitate disposal of waste while preventing waste, chemical solutions and other hazardous materials from contacting persons and objects, the method comprising the steps of: 
 providing a receptacle for catching waste including first and second openings disposed in said receptacle to allow a user to work within said receptacle, first and second glove members removably connected to said first and second openings, said first and second glove members being placed over first and second ring members, said receptacle further including first and second clamps adapted to be placed over first and second glove members to substantially immobilize said first and second glove members, thereby operatively connecting first and second glove members to said receptacle;    loosening at least one of said first and second clamps;    removing at least one of said first and second glove members;    placing at least a third glove member over at least one of said first and second ring members;    placing at least one of said first and second clamps over at least said third glove member; and    tightening at least one of said first and second clamps, thereby operatively connecting said at least one third glove member to said receptacle.    
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , said receptacle further including a first conduit extending through said receptacle and attached to said receptacle for transporting waste, said first conduit including at least one hole disposed through its circumference, for draining waste from said receptacle into said first conduit.
